I am a Muslim alhamdullilah of sunni orientation but studied fiqh jafari and some shia books and here is what I found out..
How the shia religion started?
Bani Ismaeel(Rasool Allahs original tribe all such tribes are called "arab mustaar-ba)) which in fact is a jewish sub tribe by DNA was always there and always had a "group" mentality. They were even present as "shia=group" at the time of Rasool Allah with special status but not openly recognized. Sufferings of Shaab e abitalab made them stronger and after Hazrat Umar radiallah's administrative and political ordinances against the sub group inside the family of Rasool e Pak made them "reactionaries"...You can say that they were formed by Hazrat Omar radiallah hu tala via political ordinances. Hazrat Omar belived in equality of the ummah, while the family of Rasool Allah believed in their bani ismaeeli special status, to erase this inequality Syeduna Omar radiallah implemented some measures to which the united reaction later on blossomed into a full war, which even Hz Ali couldn't control.
Their basic beliefs and aqaid??
Allah yani Touheed, Risalat, Malaika, Divine books, Qadar and Hereafter yani Qiyama-T, in aqaid kalima,salat,haj,zakat,fasting etc...
Their separate Kalma?
Kalima is the same as Sunni's, Ahmadi's and even some B'hai's..the postfix of "Alli un Waliullah" is an identification marker and not juz=part of the kalima tayyaba, I have seen non muslims converting to Shia Islam and reciting the kalima without the wali ulla part...Sunni's of jewish origin schools of thought accuse shia of a seperate kalima, which is not true. Sunnis under the influence of hindu origins do not argue much about this point as we all know that it is not mandatory to recite kalima to enter islam.......it can be done without any ceremoney. Sunni's of hindu origin school of thoughts like barelvi do not create this as an issue, only sunni's of jewish origin school of thought like the wahabiya and deobandiya which origin from indian jews create this as an issue.
Motta concept?
Mutta is haram and against the sharia in Shia and sunni both. 1% deviant and non shia of parsi and hindu origin who hide under the shia banner do this just like a huge group of sunni's of Egyptian and Lebanon who use nikah misyar to have sex. It is mutafiqun alehi that its haram and its origin during the Khyber excursion of Rasool Allah was a temporary arrangement. It kept on going till Syeduna Omar Alfarooq banned it with a political statement.
Their holy books??
Quran is the only holy book Shia have, the rest are sharra and tafaseer and opinions. Only Quran is the holy book. Their higher ulema study sunni's saha sitta which are of suspicious origins as they are copies of copies as well. Their Hadees books have ahadees from Syeda Ayesha r.a as well.
their Imamas and kidnapping of their last Imam?
Their Imams are all children of RasoolAllah and just like sunnis consider khulafa as masoom and without any mistake, same is the concept of imamat...shia's consider spiritual leader to be "Better" suited for political leadership too...this is what sunni's do not understand. Sunni's believe in "gang decision" and ignore the "spiritual element" in choosing leaders...in arabic "gang=majma" which is the root of "ijmah" which now a days is painted as something "holy"....which in fact is a "crafted" "opinion" and imposed with force.
Last imam is not in hiding, its the title of his "imamat" which is not visible. The word "gaar" (cave) in shia vocabulary means "ghaib" not a real cave, but sunni's lacking the "exact" understanding of the imamat makes it a fun item and ridicule shia for farting such nonsense but its not that way.....
Their reducing numbers of Imam barra'z in Pakistan??
With the help of Saudia arabia, sunni's have a "licence" to ethnically cleanse shia's who were in land mafia type business under the banner of imam-bargah. Sunnis were given a blank check to kill all such shia's financiers who had bank accounts connected to "waqf" holdings in banks. This led to a slow down in land and imam bargah numbers, but the number of shia population has steadily risen. Exact numbers are not known but their impact is visible.
They abusing Sahaba RTA??
They abuse "political decisions" of the sahaba, as politics allows total transparency of decision making, their main argument is the "change" of the pattern of Rasool Allah's way of doing things under a gang mentality called "ijmah". They do not consider political changes as "holy" hence they point out and cirtise such acts and only badmash and deviant ones do this, none of the imams allowed this or even said a single word about these. Some jewish converts from the family of Rasool Allah of bani ismaeeli origins intentionally say bad things about the "intention" of sahaba which is their personal anger but not the idea of imams of shia.......
The offering of so many prayers at one time Aqeeda.
Their faraiz are the same as sunni's and ahmadi's and in the "extra=nafal" one can do as they want in the numbers of prayers. Individually shia offer salat separately for zuhr and maghrib, but if they get together for a majlis or dawat they use the sunnah of "coupling" of the salat, which is also done by educated sunnis under travel and bad weather situations in middle east .
Their experties in Majic/Jadoo in all over the world and in Pakistani community??
A lot of shia women have hindu ancestry in all parts of pakistan, they had this majic rituals in them way before converting to Islam and it still exits. Sometimes effective sometimes not....
And the last but not least why another totally different Firqa in Islam having grt differences with Islamic concepts.
"interpretation" is the main cause of the "difference" in Islam which is then strengthened=fueled by family politics, family of Rasool Allah is bani ismaeeli jewish subtribe and they think they are the "chosen" ones, but the people who "converted" to Islam at the hands of Rasool Allah were mostly hindu in mecca and jewish in medina, so the hindu's of mecca and jewish of medina crafted the "ahle sunna" to which bani ismaleei crafted "ahle bayat"....
its noting but ego......
Mulla!
Please note that the tone of my answers was academic and not that i am in love with shia. Studying opposite thought helps our own understanding. Please verify these points with Shia ulema and not regular shia public. Many shia's on this forum will argue with my understandings but I am writing based on research and pattern analysis. There are 18 different types of deviant shias in Pakistani public and they will not be able to explain themselves well, so consult Ulema....
I believe Sahaba were correct in what ever they did given the "context" of their time.....and we are the children of sahaba and this was their message to us, "react in the context of YOUR TIME as we did after Rasool Allah"...
